Pizza Throwdown

[Kilted_Griller]

So my buddy up the street told me that the XC and I should have a pizza throwdown. The XC not being one to pass up a cooking challenge, her comment was "bring it on, daddy"! With my buddy, my lovely bride and 2 of her friends being the judges, she made a BBQ Chicken Pizza and I made my almost famous Spicy Pepperoni....

The XC toppings; chicken, mozzarella & gouda cheeses, the remainder of the apple bourbon BBQ sauce from the ribs, red onion and cilantro


My toppings; thin cut pepperoni, gouda 3 pepper cheese, jalapenos and spicy pizza sauce


The XC's prepped


My prep


Both 22.5'ers were set up the same. We were able to get the temp up to 600 by adding the wood in the back


The XC's after 12 mins and ready to come off


Mine ready after 12 mins and ready to come off


Side by side...


I got the points for plating, but she won unanimously for flavor. I want a rematch! Thanks for looking!! Slainte

Looks great!

Do you spread out the dough by hand to get that extra puff at the outer edge? I rolled mine and that resulted in a flat edge. I have found that's not only an esthetic issue, but the flat edge lets melted cheese run off. Do you let the dough rise again after it is spread out?

Thanks, Hank! I spread the dough by hand, the XC uses a rolling pin. But either way, we leave enough room around the edge to fold it over and make an edge. We do not let the dough rise once it has spread out.

Oh man the jalapeno and peperoni looks right up my ally, but in my house the girls would have out voted you to
